Attended the Orlando Remembered meeting at the Citrus Club in Orlando. Here are sketches of Chairman
P. John Camichos and Leon Handley telling his fun of trying to get the Orlando Sentinel to move his paper to his new home down near Lake Lucerne. The subscription department lady informed him she had no idea where Lake Lucerne is. She’s in the Phillipines.

Below is an illustration I drew at the meeting of a story that Joe Guernsey told at the table. He related the party he went to as a young boy in the ’30s. The party was at the home of a classmate, Nixon Butt, on Central Boulevard across from Lake Eola. Joe told of the greatest highlight of the party. Prior to the party peanuts were hidden all around the house. At the given time the children were set loose to find the peanuts.
